The Jets are thinking about handing their green vestments to Jason Taylor, and Taylor is pondering squeezing into them? This is uncomfortable to watch. This is uncomfortable to even consider. Jason Taylor, the quintessential Dolphin because he not only played well against the Jets all these years, he relished the role of enemy?

He’s thinking of becoming a Jet?

This is player movement gone utterly awry, modern professional sports gone completely insane. Jason Taylor? As a Jet? It’s as if sometime in 1979 Leonid Brezhnev announced he was going to run for President. It’s like seeing Glen Beck wearing a Nancy Pelosi campaign button. What, are the Capulets recruiting Montagues now? Are the McCoys looking to add a Hatfield to beef up the pass rush?

Jason Taylor?

As a Jet?

What happened to the good old days, like 1957, when the Dodgers tried to trade Jackie Robinson to the Giants, and the mere thought of wearing the hateful spiteful colors of a hated, spited rival, just the idea of moving his shingle from Brooklyn to Manhattan, from Flatbush Avenue to 155th Street, was enough to drive Robinson clear out of the game and to a desk job for a coffee company?

What happened to the good old days, like 1982, when Denis Potvin was asked what he would do if the Islanders ever traded him to the Rangers, and Potvin anwered, quite simply, “Retire.”

It’s jarring enough to be watching television one night this week and learn that Donovan McNabb, an Eagle’s Eagle, will be spending next football season as a Redskin. It was hard for some Rangers fans, a few years back, to swallow the notion of Bryan Trottier as a head coach for the Broadway Blueshirts. But McNabb has never said a disparaging word about the Redskins. And Rangers fans always were so caught up in their loathing of Potvin that Trottier was just a guy who helped score a lot of goals against them over the years, not one who elevated their blood pressure.

But this?

Seriously, what’s next? Does Chipper Jones get to take his victory lap of the National League at Citi Field someday? Reggie Miller taking over for coach Mike D’Antoni with the Knicks? Flozell Adams requesting a trade to the Giants so he and Justin Tuck can play dominoes together in the locker room? Sean Avery and Martin Brodeur doing Subway commercials together? Pedro Martinez signing a one-day contract so he can retire as a Yankee?

Seriously, if Jets fans have to learn how to root for Taylor, it’s possible the whole fan base might get the bends. This after all, was Taylor’s infamous rant abut the Jets and their fans from 2004:

The experience of playing at the Meadowlands was “a bunch of them chanting their dumb-ass chant and all that other stuff, being the ignorant fans they are. I said it. I don’t care if they get mad at me or not. They don’t like me anyway. Quite frankly, I don’t care . . . I’m just being real. I’m telling the truth.”

And even as recently as Thursday, Taylor had this to say in the Miami Herald: “It’d be very, very, very difficult. At the end of the day, if I couldn’t find a job anywhere else and the Jets called, I guess I’d have to retire or go play.”

Abe Michaels: The NCAA’s Final Four is its Super Bowl. Why not play the championship game on Sunday at 6 p.m.? At least it would start and end at a normal family viewing time. The Final Four could be Friday/Sunday. Monday night at 9:21 p.m. Eastern Time is not good. I get up at 5 a.m. to go the gym/work, and am lucky to see the first half.

Vac: Strike another one for the networks, who seem hell-bent on making sure kids, working folks, retirees and just about anyone who doesn’t work odd hours (like sports writers) never see a World Series game or a Final Four title game. On the bright side: it does still make the morning newspaper a useful resource.

Jordan Doronila: The fans’ response to Nate Robinson’s return was superficial because his contributions to the franchise were superficial. He had a lot of enthusiasm, and he handled his benching in a mature fashion, which I think is a good lesson to all when people get the shaft. But he was also a self-promoter and his Krypto-Nate persona was kind of weird.

Vac: Bottom line: Knicks fans should know better than to bestow the kind of folk hero status they bestowed on Nate as long as they did. They used to be more discriminating when it was Mike Riordan or John Starks.

James Belford: Hey Vaccaro! Let’s be honest: Joba is not good. Just because he got a couple of Sox to chase some pitches doesn’t make him the bridge to winning a game. The other night he was the bridge to nowhere. He’s erratic and just plain annoying!

Vac: I’ve never seen someone so young be quite so polarizing. EVERYONE has a take on Joba.

Peter Murphy: I’m encouraged to hear the tin ear of the Mets’ front office injected some real history at the stadium, and can’t wait to see it. I still hope two things occur: sales at the team store of championship team photos (1969 & 1986) and a statue of the late, great Mrs. Joan Payson.

Vac: That’s a 2-for-2 e-mail. What do you say, Mets?

VAC’S WHACKS

* My man George Willis nailed it just right in yesterday’s Post: Every time Tiger Woods tried to compare his comeback with Ben Hogan’s, I find myself reaching for an air-sickness bag. Between that and the creepy Nike ad, it’s clear that no matter how many majors he ends up with, he already had the trophy retired on shamelessness.

* Here’s the lesson to take away from L’Affair Tiki: Never ascribe any more or less to an athlete than what they do on the field. That way, they can’t disappoint you. And can’t come across as phonier than a bad toupee.

* Welcome back, Jose Reyes. New York is a much more interesting baseball place than it was a few days ago.

* Whatever happens in Philly today, it’s good to see the Rangers running through the tape for a change.
